TARIFF OPINIONS.
How 1t Looks Abroad.

Edinburgh Scotsman.
This enormous sum of money is
withdrawn from the commerce of the
United States solely IN order that the
majority of the nation may not buy
their necessaries in the cheapest
market. When once this fact is clearly
seen by the majority, protection" in
the United States will have had its day.
President CLEvELAND'S message seems
to be an indication that the masses are
beginning to realize the evils of the sys-
TEN. If this were not the case, as a
prudent politician he would use Ian
guage less fOrcible. The principle
which he lays down in regard to taxa
ton is, however, unimpuguable. 1.-The
exactiOn," he says, ''Of more than is re-
quired for careful and economical
maintenance of the government Is an
indefensible extOrtiOn and culpable
BETRAYAL of American fairness and JUS
tice." Undoubtedly the farmer or other
worker who has to pay more taxes than
the state absolutely needs is actually
robbed. President CLEVELAND, in
continuation, urges that many evils
result from this wrong. The
energies of the country are crippled and
It's development is prevented by the
state retaining In lCS cOHerS money
which ought to be employed in product
i've enterprises. The mere withdrawal
of so much coin from circulation cannot
fail to have an effect i'll enhancing
prices in the United States, thus in
creasing the cost of production, and
placing her industries of all descriptions
on an unfavorable footing as compared
with those of other countries. Pressure
is certain to he felt in all the financial
operations of the country; and the
United States has thus to face the prob
ability of a commercial crisis of a most
alarming kind,

THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS.

The question of abOliShing the diplO-
matte corps is again being agitated, and
will probably be brought before con-
gress during the present session. There
is popular impression that our diplo-
matte service is somewhat on the order
of the Indians gun-it costs more than
it comes to. 1t is not only an expensive,
but it is bunglesome feature of Our
governmental machinery. 1t is as use
less, too, as it is expensive and bungle-
some. About the only real use that is
made of the diplomatic service is to util-
ize it for a hospital for decayed
politicians. Whenever a pOliti-
clan breaks down and stands no
show for an elective Office at
home he is appointed to some foreign
mission, where he can draw a good fat
salary to act as gentleman usher to
his countrymen who have curiosity to
stare at king. The diplomatic service
is numbering relic of the past which
ought to be abolished. There was
time when there was some excuse for it.
In the old days, when the only means of
mmunication with foreign countries
was by sailing vessels which took
month to cross the ocean, there was at
lie st an excuse for keeping
representative of this country
at each of the various foreign
courts. But in these days of submarine
telegraphs and steamships making an
ocean voyage in less than a week that
excuse no longer exists. With a well
organized state departments at home, our
government is capable of conducting all
diplomatic business from the national
capitol. The most that we need in the
way of diplomatic corps is minister
resident at each foreign court, who shall
depend on the fees of his Office and the
fees to be paid by those for whom
the service is rendered. If a curl
Gus Americans travelling abroad
wants an introduction to royalty
let him pay the American minister
fee for his services in presenting his
card to the king or queen. Our consular
service is more than sufficient for pro-
tecting our commercial interests abroad,
and even that could be maintained with
less expense to the government than is
now incurred. 1t is to be hoped that if
this question of aboliShing the diplo-
matte corps should be brought before
congress that body will give it careful
investigation and inform the country
exactly what returns we do get for the
amount of money that is annually ex-
pended in this direction. If foreign
governments want to send us repre-
sentatives let them doit, but do not let
us measure our cloth by the cut of coats
worn by European royalty.

CARNIVAL RATES.

There is an unaccOuntaDle delay on
the part of the railways in making car
nival rates. The Minnesota & North
western announced some time ago that
it would give a one-fare rate during the
entire carnival season. 1t was assumed
at the time, and in fact it was intimated
By other companies, that all the rail-
roads running into st. Paul would be as
liberal as the Minnesota & Northwest
ern. But it hasn't been done. The de-
lay is Indicative of hitch somewhere,
and there is a rumor passing around
that the Milwaukee is the ObStac in
the way of the Passenger Agent assocl-
alton granting the one-fare rate.
and that it has threatened the other
roads if the Minnesota & Northwestern
rate is adopted the rules of the associa-
ton will no longer be regarded as bind
ing. We have no evidence that there is
any foundation for this rumOr, and we
hope there is none. But of one thing
we are sure. and that is the Carnival
association should lose no time in press
ing this matter upon the Passenger asso-
citation, and asking for rate from all
the roads as liberal as that which the
Minnesota & Northwestern has ex-
pressed a willingness to eoncede. Nay.
more, the Carnival association should de-
mand it, as it has the right to
make the demand. 1t is the rate which
all railroads in the country grant to
every city under similar circumstances
1t is the rate which st. Louis has always
had for it's Yelled Prophet shows and
New Orleans for its Mardi Gras. 1t is
the rate which Montreal always got on
the occasion of its ice carnivals. There
is no reason why st. Paul should not re-
ceive the same courteSieS from its rail-
roads that other cities get, and should
not be entitled to the same liberal treat
ment. Public sentiment is united on
this point, and if the time should come
that an expression of it is necessary it
will be given in way that there will be
no mistaking its meaning. But we
hardly think it will come to that. We
have faith in the wisdom of our railroad
managers. and believe they will be con-
trolled by sense of justice and senti-
memt of liberality in fixing the carnival
rates.

Revival of the RecticuIe.

washington fOSl
1t is understood that opera-glass bags
and the dainty little plush pockets for
handkerchiefs that our bellies have for
the past year been wont to carry about
with them, are to be superseded this
season by the regular Old-fashioned reti-
culeS that our grandmotherS used to de-
light in. And, indeed, this fashion will
certainly prove charming one in many
ways. A fashionable woman nowadays
is obliged to take so many Indispensable
articles about with her that it is abso-
lutely necessary to have some cOnven-
lent receptacle in which to stow them,
so that they shall be near at hand. Or
binary dress pockets are becoming al
most obsolete. principally because
modiStes will persist in putting them Ill
such out-of-the-Way places that it is i'm
possible to gain access to them. Every
body will surely welcome our grand
mothers reticules as pleasing change.
OF course, one must possess as many
reticules as gowns, satin and silk ones
to match evening toilets, and others Of
more sober cast for shopping purposes.
They may be ornamented with lace and
flowers or fur and feathers, and they
may contain anything from a batiste
handkerchief to the latest design in
enamel bOn-bOn boxes. At any rate,
every woman of taste will admit that,
from an aesthetic point of view, ANY kind
of reticule-even one of the plainest
pattern-will be preferable to those
mOnStrositieS in leather called shopping
bags, and which are to be placed in the
same category as ulsters and rubber

out of him. His initiation into the mys-
teries of congressional life reveals the
fact that handful of men really control
legislation, and he finds him
self reduced to nonentity
before his ambitious dreams have
had time to vanish. 1t Is the oil d
stager who really makes his mark in
congress. That is why the various
constituencies make mistake in chang
ing their representatives too frequently.
The new member has no chance for
leadership, no matter what his abilities
may be. 1t is not until he enters on the
second or third term that he begins to find
recognition by being placed on commit
tees where he can make himself useful.
1t is probably pity that it is so, but it
is so nevertheless. and the new con-
gresham. as rule, has to endure the
modification and disappointment that
the hazed student in college does.

THE CAUTIOUS STATESMAN.

With all his proverbial bullheaded-
ness, the great German chancellor is an
exceedingly cautious man. BISMARCK
never takes chances on anything. An
illustration of this trait is given in his
shrewd effort to extract from the British
government formal declaration of its
purpose with reference to sustaining
the tripartite alliance. All the world
knows that BISMARCK is contemplating
an important move on the European
cheSsboard-a move that will probably
result in making Germany the strongest
empire Oh earth, and may possibly re-
suit in the destruction of some empires
that now stand as perpetual menace
to the peace of Europe. BISMARCK
knows that all the world is watching
with res less anxiety every political
movement flat he makes. This knowl-
edge perhaps makes him more cautious
than he would otherwise be. But one
thing is certain, BISMARCK will not
fully develop his purpose until he is
sure that Germany is ready to strike the
contemplated blow, and when the con-
fiict does come it will most probably be
repetition Of the Franco-German war,
short, sharp and wOndrously decisive.

MINNESOTA COOPERATION.

A number of our Eastern conteu-
poraries have been commenting on the
disbanding of the Minnesota Co-0pera-
tive Farming society III way that is in
some cases very ludicrouS indeed. They
seem to think that cooperative farming
is the rule in Minnesota, and that the
society's failure" is a sufficient con-
domination of all kinds of cooperation.
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
So long as but one acre in twenty in
Minnesota and but one in a thousand in
Dakota is cultivated, there is little need
for cooperative farming. Every farmer
can have farm of his own at the pres
ent cheap price of agricultural land, and
can run it to suit himself. But, even
where cooperative farming is desirable
for the cultivation of large tracts, the
abandonment of the recent cooperative
farm scheme would not be sufficient to
bring the principle involved under the
ban.
The scheme, not thoroughly organized,
had no real excuse for its existence, and
consequently was not pushed with the
YigOr characteristic of Western men or
with the energy essential to success. As
for the principle of cooperation, its
value receives daily evidence in the
West. 1t is, i'll fact, through co-Opera-
ton that the West, and especially the
Northwest, has been able to take such
gigantic strides i'll development within
the past few years. If it were not for
the fact that up here Il helping hand is
extended to any one deserving aid from
his fellow, progress not half as great
would have been made.
But it is through united effort, through
the readiness of every man to help his
neighbor when another shoulder is
needed at the wheel, that such marvel
Gus results have been attained. And
that kind of cooperation, we assure our
Eastern friends, has been found to be
complete success.
